I was impressed with the talent and discipline of the kids in the cast as well….what a cool childhood memory they’ll have working in this gorgeous staging by the Pennsylvania Ballet at Philadelphia’s beautiful Academy of Music.

For tech stuff, It was done with 2 D90’s and a D300s, ISO 800-1600, Automatic White Balance, and 12-24mm f/4, 17-55mm f/2.8, 70-200mm f/2.8VR, plus a little 35mm f/1.8, 10.5mm f/2.8, and 85mm f/1.8. This show is running, in a smaller size, on National Geographic Traveler’s Intelligent Travel blog too.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go have a doughnut and practice my plies and jetes!

Monte: After I spent all day Friday shooting the dress rehearsal, Peggy and I did just that on Saturday night…it was beautiful, and all I did was grab a shot of the theater interior before the curtain went up, so it was almost like a real date! Bob

Bob, I really enjoyed watching this. You’re always an inspiration to this amateur. A basic tech question: What do you use to create the slide show, i.e., software, etc. Santa has promised to deliver a Mac for Christmas if Dr. Krist prescribes it. Want to make sure I have the right software.

Great job Bob, watching the boys rehearse took be back to 1964, I was 12 years old.My friend and i got into a little trouble and the cop who lived on our block in Paterson gave us a way out. His wife owned a dance school and was lacking boy studnets. If we leaened to dance for the “Nutcraker” he would cover our butts. Well being a ‘Badass” it was no at first, he took us on a ride to Jamesburg were the juvie jail was. Needless to say we danced and danced had a ball and as a side note there is no better place to meet girls that at a dance school.

Bob, this is my “new favorite” of your multimedia productions. I’ve already watched it three times and dragged my husband in to see it, too. After he watched it, he promptly went in to find and play the Nutcracker CD….you certainly have brought it to life for us!!! THANKS!!!
